Hi all,
I don't know much about Lojban but it seems to me interesting. Just from
looking across the websites, it seems to me that one of the purposes of
the language is for easy parsing by computers. So, is it correct to say
the language is basically constructed so that any written Lojban could
(theoretically) be easily translated into any other language by a
computer? In that case, if I wanted to write a document in many
languages, I would write it in Lojban and have the computer translate it
for me.

Thanks
Christoph
